Keywords: History of Reiki, Inner-power school, martial art, Sufism, spiritual healing, syncretism: Adoption and Adaptation, Indonesian MuslimĪ wide-ranging scholarly consideration of the martial arts. This research attempts to explore the politics of Reiki as a global product and its relation to the responses within Indonesian Muslim, historically and sociologically, in Javanese society of Yogyakarta.
My paper is based on the current phenomenon of Islam engagement with Reiki in Java such as Yayasan Wijaya Kusuma Reiki, Bio Energi Klinik, and the Gus Muh's school. That in turn, this situation creates political tension between the radical and puritan Islam vis-a -vis with the Muslim Reiki's Masters.
This modern-globalize Reiki movement apparently has invoked the traditional syncretistic style of some Indonesian Muslim. The globalization of Reiki on healing attunement that is generated from the Reiki's meditation technique also has its influences in Islamic traditional wisdom particularly as practiced by the Javanese Muslim. Bikkhu Jottidhammo of Mendut said that Buddhism, which is based on the teaching of Buddha Gautama, is simply about how to practice certain methods to gain enlightenment it is wisdom ‘religion’.
In Reiki tradition its meditation and attuning techniques are believed to have originated from the Lotus Sutra of the Lord Buddha himself, though it is declared by the practitioners that it has no ideological or event religious dogma with their method. During my involvement, as practitioner, with one of Reiki meditation group and others engagements with others Javanese spiritual movements including Javanese inner power traditions and martial arts, triggering with my intellectual interest on historical studies, I found a fascinating similar facts of techniques and symptoms in Reiki and some of the schools or movements.
Historically and culturally speaking, since late 1990's “Modern” Reiki and Meditation techniques and practices also impacts on the Indonesian people.
